Graduation and attrition rates are cohort based. Cohorts are defined as all students enrolled in the Histologic Technology core program courses at Phoenix College entering the final half of the program (HST185 or higher) and have graduated or withdrawn as of January 1, 2026. 

Placement and exam pass rates are based on all graduates in a calendar year. Of those individuals who responded to the surveys, graduates were counted as placed if employed in the field or continuing their education within 12 months of graduation. Graduates were counted as passing the ASCP Board of Certification exam (or other recognized exams) if they passed within one year of graduation. 

Graduating year includes students that have graduated both in May and November of a given year.
